Oh i got you.
You still have had an over-exaggerated reaction to a minor suspicion I mentioned once until I was prompted by Auro to explain.
I don't see you having equal qualms with AGar's suspicions of MT, farside, and myself for "empty calorie" posts without engaging us. (I borrowed AGar's term, but his suspicions post-dated mine.)
Shows particular sensitivity to a pretty flip suspicion of you. Suggests AI.

Sorry, which policy push from Blair? The game is a bit of a haze.

i mean, UT is late to the party, but he's voicing the same suspicion, just not directed at anyone specifically:

GC has a more developed ISO of different stuff, but most recently 305 calls a bunch of people suspicious and disappointing without really doing anything.
I'm kind of surprised Reck and Puppy are such wallpaper this game. Not really what I was expecting from either
there's a fine line to walk between explanation and obfuscation. a lot of the previous pages falls into the latter category
tbf, I think UT's invocation of the suspicion is actually suspicious in itself because of how unobtrusive it is."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

here's one: Reck saying "oh, UT is probably scum here", me saying "yeah but I'll NK you later bb" and them him saying "okay I'll leave UT alone til Day 3" is the dance we do when we're both town or both scum
lynch one of us to find out which it is!
spoiler alert:we're both town
oh no, you have me doing self-meta. bad UT.-

If green crayons flips scum this will be worth looking at. But you added nothing as far as why green crayons is scum.In post 350, Llamarble wrote:In post 335, Kmd4390 wrote: Even llamarble didn't add anything when he voted.Spoiler: I added Aurobuddy!

My vote on IIAU is pretty clearly not a policy push. You have me confused with someone else.

The whole thing about voting IAUN for only having 2 posts, but simultaneously ignoring UT and AGar. All 3 have less posts than the mod, but it's still early Day 1-ish, so I don't get it.

I might not agree with the premise of the questions, but I at least can get behind a player trying to meaningfully engage with players they’re unfamiliar with as opposed to willfully ignoring progression of the game to continue on fruitless discussion.In post 305, Green Crayons wrote:AGar's "Call and response"? Is that what we call answering questions now? shade, that conflates Starbuck's call for "empty calories" discussions (AGar's words) and several responses with actual, scum-hunting questions, is disappointingly bland.
I specifically called your shit out because it was a weak attempt to manufacture a read on someone as opposed to having any real grounding in reality.

They feel like a wagon for the sake of a wagon. Almost every vote felt random. Hoopla had four votes which made her the lead wagon then all of the sudden starts selling green crayons as THE wagon that everyone needs to be on and says there's town points in it for everyone who jumps on then it just becomes a thing. Puppy jumps on. You jump on. Agar jumps on and now there's four votes and I have no idea why. Every one of those votes rubbed me the wrong way. While I seriously doubt that's a wagon of four scum, I'd be absolutely shocked if it wasn't at least 1-2, especially involving hoopla who I'd otherwise been townreading. Even llamarble didn't add anything when he voted. So five votes and zero stated reasons.In post 289, xRECKONERx wrote:

i'll do my best, though some of them i definitely haven't articulated to myself yet.In post 367, farside22 wrote: Talk me through a few of your reads with reasons.
ABR- i like his VPB vote, i like the way he tried to glean understanding of the GC and username wagons and determined that neither were good choices, everything there felt natural and made sense to me.
Blair- as i said, fully in favour of trying to start a counterwagon to GC when she did and her reasons for choosing me are completely reasonable.
farside- the questions she has been asking feel like genuine efforts to try to get reads on people.
Green Crayons- i like his flippant reaction to being wagoned for no apparent reason, and i dislike him being wagoned for no apparent reason.
Hoopla- too cute to be scum. idk, 252 in particular feels town to me and i don't know why.
Kmd- agree with others who have said his mistake about ABR "forcing" himself into the alliance that he started is less likely to come from scum. openly voting me because i was a counterwagon to GC doesn't feel like scum and giving no reason that was about me in particular doesn't feel like a scum approach to that situation.
Llama- 330 feels particularly sincere. like, i feel the frustration of having a strong gut read on someone and struggling to articulate it in a way that makes sense to anyone else. it helps that i agree with his gut read too.
Morning Tweet- just feels like she is relaxed and excited to be here. doesn't feel like she is forcing anything.
Porkens- i guess he's town for even bothering to go there.
Starbuck- i feel like she's needlessly drawing a lot of attention on herself with things like playing GTKAS in the thread, and her outrage at any suggestion that this might not be the most useful thing to be doing doesn't feel forced.Elapsam semel occasionem non ipse potest Iuppiter reprehendere-

I was answering Porkens.
Porkens asked me where he supposedly took a stab at the wagon.
So I quoted his post back at him where he shaded the wagon for being on someone with only two posts.
Honestly, in the context of all the other things I've said about this (like when I suggested Porkens suspicious for saying that!), how could this possibly be a good-faith reading on your part?“There is nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation! A human being [...] cannot resist the opportunity to reveal himself and express his personality which conversation gives him. Every time he will give himself away.” -Hercule Poirot-

I had the same thought about Le Marlboro: "reminds me of how I play scum" and the lack of further articulation is indeed town indicative.In post 396, iamausername wrote:Llama - 330 feels particularly sincere. like, i feel the frustration of having a strong gut read on someone and struggling to articulate it in a way that makes sense to anyone else. it helps that i agree with his gut read too
